Ingredients for Mozzarella Sticks
Method
Directions to Prepare Mozzarella Sticks
- 1
Prepare the Ingredients
Gather all the ingredients on your workspace. Ensure that the mozzarella cheese sticks are frozen for at least 30 minutes before starting.
- 2
Set up the Breading Station
In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, whisk the eggs in the second bowl, and mix the breadcrumbs with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in the third bowl.

Bread the Mozzarella Sticks
Take a mozzarella stick, coat it in flour, tapping off the excess. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, and finally roll it in the seasoned breadcrumbs until fully coated. Repeat this process for all mozzarella sticks.

Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of bread into it; if it sizzles, it’s ready.
- 5
Fry the Mozzarella Sticks
Carefully place a few of the breaded mozzarella sticks into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- 6
Drain and Serve
Once golden brown, use a slotted spoon to remove the mozzarella sticks from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
